Note. —A captain of this regiment not brooking the secrecy usually attending military operations in the field, and being strongly imbued with the inquisitiveness so peculiar to the genuine Yankee, resigned his commission in 1862 and returned to the State disgusted with the service because he could not be informed from headquarters as to the intent of all reconnoissances and movements of his regiment.
